The results are in. In yesterday's European Parliament electons, the Swedish Pirate Party succeded in winning a seat, out of Sweden's 18 seats in the Parliament, with about 7% of the vote. A great success for a party that's only existed for three years, and which many - even in Sweden - had not heard of until quite recently.
So the question you have to ask today is whether this result is significant or not. Something I'll discuss under the fold..
